PHP Currency Formatting

When I was creating my marketplace & advertising system, I had to quickly format the currency used instead of adding things manually
so I created that function.
It might not be very useful for everyone but, it came handy for me !

See Full Function here

The functions is very simple and support multi data returns

Single Currency format:

$cur = "GBP";
$curStuff =  getCurFormated($cur);
   echo " Single output";
   echo "Currency Code: $curStuff[0]

         Currency Sign: $curStuff[1]

         Currency Title: $curStuff[2]

The output

Quote

Single output
Currency Code: GBP
Currency Sign: £
Currency Title: Great Britain Pounds

Multi-formatting:

$curArray = Array( 'USD', 'GBP', 'CAD' );
      
       foreach ($curArray as $cur){
          $curStuff =  getCurFormated($cur);
          echo "Information about $cur";
          echo "Currency Code: $curStuff[0]

                Currency Sign: $curStuff[1]

                Currency Title: $curStuff[2]
";
       }

The output:

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as a standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.

PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995[1][2] and has been in continuous development ever since. The main implementation of PHP is now produced by the PHP Group and serves as the de facto standard for PHP as there is no formal specification.[3] PHP is free software released under the PHP License.
